Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Zhu Qingqing's face was filled with joy, and she ran into the warehouse with light steps. As soon as she entered the yard, she couldn't wait to ask her father who was standing there waiting: "Dad, where did the person who just came in go?"

Father Zhu raised his chin slightly, pointed towards the house, and said, "Look, he went in to look for Xiao Xu. Your mother brought him there. Come to think of it, I didn't know the woman's name was Xu Xiaoxiang until today."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingying immediately came over like a curious kitten, gossiping and asking in a low voice, "What's the relationship between this man and Xiao Xu? I heard that Xiao Xu's husband passed away, and now she's left with only a mother-in-law and a posthumous child. How will she live in the future? But if this man can... Hehe, I think they look quite compatible."

Zhu Qingqing glared at her sister and quickly stopped her, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! We don't know their relationship exactly. This is ancient times. Those unfounded rumors can drive people to death!"

After being scolded by her sister, Zhu Yingying stuck out her tongue mischievously and stopped talking.

Just then, Mother Zhu led the man out of the house.

The man clasped his fists and bowed to Mother Zhu, Father Zhu, and Sister Zhu Qingqing. "I would like to thank Doctor Chen, Doctor Zhu, and my two sisters-in-law for taking care of Xiaoxiang. I came here in a hurry today, but I will definitely bring a small gift to express my gratitude tomorrow."

Mother Zhu quickly waved her hands: "Captain Zhang, no need, no need. I've already told you it's just a small matter, it's what we doctors should do."

Zhang Bantou: "Yes, yes."

Zhu Qingqing: "Zhang... Zhang the captain, right? If you want to express your gratitude, how about borrowing your horse? My father is going to Dayu Mountain. Leader Yang of the Yang family caravan is injured and can't move around easily, so my father needs to go and change his medicine. All the horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts in the city have been hired by the Yang family to repair the road."

Zhang Bantou: "Then I'll take Doctor Zhu there."

Father Zhu: "I hope I won't delay you."

Zhang Bantou: "Don't delay, go quickly and come back soon. I will go to the government office again when you come back."

"Okay then. Go quickly and come back soon."

Father Zhu followed Team Leader Zhang and rode away on horseback.

The mother, daughter and her two children also went out together and headed towards the Guandi Temple.

Zhu Yingying pulled her mother aside and continued gossiping: "What does this squad leader do?"

Mother Zhu: "He's the head of the third shift at the Yucheng County Government Office. I heard Chunmei say so."

Zhu Yingying: "Then why did he come to see Xiao Xu? What is their relationship?"

Mother Zhu glanced at her and said, "Zhu Yingying, you also have your gossip moments."

Zhu Yingying: "I think they must have a special relationship, right, sister?"

She asked Zhu Qingqing to be her ally.

Zhu Qingqing: "It seems a little unusual. Look at this Zhang Bantou, he looks exhausted, but he still cares about Xiao Xu...

Why haven’t I seen him before?”

Mother Zhu: "When I took him to see Xiao Xu just now, he told me that because of the flood, he was sent downstream by the county magistrate to report the news. He rode away for several days and just came back today. He went to the government office to report first, and then hurried to find Xiao Xu.

From what he said, it seemed like he was leaving in a hurry, so he could only ask the county yamen runners to take good care of the people in Xiaohe Village.

"So that's how it is. It seems this person is interested in Xiao Xu."

Zhu Yingying: "This guy is not bad. Xiao Xu is a good match for him."

Mother Zhu: "I also think that Zhang, the squad leader, is interested in Xiao Xu... But I asked her before, and she said she didn't want to drag others down. When I saw Zhang, the squad leader, today, she didn't express anything special, just saying that they were just acquaintances from the same village. But Zhang, the squad leader, was very excited."

Zhu Yingying: "Alas, it seems that the flowers have feelings but the water is unfeeling."

Zhu Qingqing: "You really worry about the ancients."

"Ha, sister, you actually said that to me. Mom, look at her..."

Mother Zhu: "Your sister is right, you should think about yourself."

"Why are you dragging me down again?"

Zhu Yingying was dissatisfied.
